#/ these are all the lesser-known cousins (and nephews!) of cú chulainn/sétanta

[caemthe]

There are only 25 active members of the original family that founded the Mictíre clan, the majority of them are the children and nephews of the head of the clan, Connor macNessa. There should be 26 of them, but Deichtíne ceased to be considered an active member after eloping with her mysterious lover and disappearing from the face of the earth. The elder Cathbad, father of Connor and the three sisters, retired long ago and only does divination nowadays. Naoise's children, Gaiar and Aíbgéne, still are toddlers so they haven't shown any magical abilities yet. So are Fedelm's son and daughter, Erc and Achal, so they can't be considered yet.

While all active members were taught to masterfully use the elder runes and have the protective, regenerative, and booster runes tattoed in their bodies, each one has an affinity towards one rune in particular. In the case of twins, the two of them will share an affinity for one rune. Regardless of how many years have passed since the creation of the clan, there are always a minimum of 24 active members of the original family, representing the 24 elder runes.

Bonus: All of Connor's children have a different mother. The children of Findchóem and the second sister took their last names because their husbands were the ones that married into the family. Technically, Sétanta/Cú should be a macMaga like his mother but he was adopted by Connor after Deichtíne eloped with her mysterious lover.
